A procession of customers ambled through the Schenectady Greenmarket’s first day of outdoor activity for spring and summer on Sunday.
The strong turnout outside City Hall was indicative of the public’s growing comfort with outdoor crowds during the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers, vendors and customers seemed to agree.
As the market bustled, a full complement of outdoor diners were a welcome sight for restaurants along Jay Street.
“It’s not just us anymore down here, which is great,” said Haley Viccaro, chairwoman of the Schenectady Greenmarket board of directors, comparing last year’s dormant downtown scene.

As food supply chains were disrupted last March at the onset of the pandemic, sending grocery shoppers scrambling for fresh food, many in the Hudson Valley turned to neighboring farms to lock in a guaranteed source of fresh produce. One sign of this surge came from sales of community supported agriculture [CSA] shares, the membership program that allows farms to pre-sell their produce at the start of the season to cover their costs. In 2020, an unprecedented number of farms either sold out of their CSA shares early or for the first time ever.
